Police on St. Thomas arrested Denielle Arthur and charged her with Grand Larceny. Police said Arthur took jewelry that was not hers and traded it for cash at a cash for gold business. Denielle Arthur was arrested on Saturday, May 5 at about 3:15 p.m.
Police said the 20-year-old female suspect took several pieces of gold jewelry from a home in the Paul M. Persons Gardens apartments and traded them for cash at the Gold Center and Cash Express in Sugar Estate.
She was placed on a $35,000 bail and remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections pending further court action.
The VIPD reminds businesses that they must have the proper licenses to do business as a Cash for Gold trader. Additionally, VI law states that all customers trading cash for gold must present a valid identification. A copy of the customer’s identification and a photo copy of the gold traded must be immediately forwarded by the business to the VIPD in your respective district.
Businesses are required to hold the gold items for a period of ten days to allow VIPD to determine if the items were stolen. All businesses dealing in Cash for Gold are required to follow this law.

guilty until proven innocent… She gon get this case overturn… she ain steal nothing… everybody in the VI know the real story… lets see if her so-called friend (snitch/rat) gonna take a stand and come clean….
20 yrs…. She’s handling stolen goods and it seems she has a fake ID!!!! She can’t be 20!!! I’m almost 40 and I look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy younger than this girl.
I agree with you. If she is 20 then she must have had a rough life because that face clocking age!!
“if you catch one, it got more”
Cash for gold is the cause of most of the crime.Hon, Premier please put a stop to it.
PLEASE so many losing their lives over this
The power is in your hands save us from this
we are begging you
I wonder who the beneficial owners are of the local Cash For Gold. It seems the BVI being as small as it is should be able to recognize that since the company came into the country that home burglaries involving jewelry have increased exponentially. Someone is choosing to keep their eyes closed; but why?
I hope the Premier is reading this. He said crime has nothing to do with cash for gold.
Such a pretty chick… times must be really hard in st. thomas. from selling body, kidnapping by two young ladies to stealing by this young lady smh
What exactly do some of you all man call pretty?? Boy some of you must have some really low standards.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Youre probably blind but she is not ugly…smh
She aint pretty neither….High color skin don’t mean beauty, don’t be fooled
Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder!
guys stop stray from the topic please
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? Well behold I see an ugly chick…
For most pretty for them is defined as having: a) Heatbeat, b) female looking appendages and c) being slack enough to buy the trash talk they selling.
Pretty are we watching the same pic here or do you have another pic. Pretty, thats rich
Well, to me she’s not pretty and she’s not ugly either. What I find hard to believe is that she’s just 20. I was thinking like between 30 and 35.
Hell no more like 40 to 45. Hard life.
I wonder if the fences here liase with those in the USVI to offload their ill-gotten gains that way to circumvent the authorities knowing where the items came from?
I’m sure they do. Remember also that Cash 4 Gold has a mail in service as well. But here in the BVI there are many youths stealing and selling to the fence who then has his/her own connections to selling it on. The police need to set up a sting operation or two and catch these theives in the act.
LMAO…setup a sting you say!!! I nearly
p!$$ed myself at that – good one! Really though I doubt they could manage such an operation on their own. Good 1…lol..sting
Set up sting when they involved with the shingding themselves? You’ll wait on that.
Well if you know someone caught up in this crap then why don’t you call crimestoppers instead of laughing at someone making a suggestion. There is absolutely no reason the police couldn’t set up a fence and use the evidence against them to lay charges. It’s not that difficult speaking as a former law enforcement officer from a little city, large country.
